Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.), as an economically and ecologically valuable plant with rich nutritional and bioactive compounds, has garnered significant interest. The demand for Sea buckthorn has explosive growth, highlighting the urgent n...

The application of nitrogen fertilizer is crucial in the cultivation of bamboo forests, and comprehending the alterations in soil organic carbon (SOC) due to nitrogen application is essential for monitoring soil quality. Predicting the dynamics of so...

During the growth of a forest insect outbreak epicenter, there are processes that involve the formation and expansion of the primary epicenter of forest damage, as well as secondary epicenters—both connected and unconnected to the primary one....

Evaluating the long-term urban forest ecological environmental quality (EEQ) and analyzing the drivers of its spatiotemporal changes can provide a scientific basis for making long-term urban forest planning decisions. Taking into account the characte...

Global change in the climate is affecting tree/forest growth. There have been many studies that analyzed climate effects on tree growth. Results presented in these studies showed that the climate had both positive and negative effects on tree growth....

Aiming to enhance the efficiency and precision of multi-objective optimization in southwestern secondary growth of Pinus yunnanensis forests, this study integrated spatial and non-spatial structural indicators to establish objective functions and con...

In this work, a series of laboratory surface fire experiments were performed over a pine needle fuel bed to investigate the effectiveness of a firebreak and the behaviors of a surface fire across a firebreak. Seven wind velocities of 0~3.0 m/s and si...
